Well, yes, but not only that. More important is to adjust all the
cross-ref links.

I’m sure we could arrange a server access for you if that’s necessary,

Single File Function Reference

[František Fuka]

Is there Picolisp function reference available to download as a single
file, to put in in my EBook reader? I can only see it online, split to
individual files according to the first letter of the function name.

I am working on this. Hopefully I will be done soon. It will be a single
HTML file but can be converted to epub or whatever...

Hi Frantisek

Welcome to the picolisp mailing list!

There are two books about picolisp available, one containing also the reference:

PicoLisp Works: 
https://github.com/tj64/picolisp-works/blob/master/editor.pdf?raw=true
PicoLisp by Example: 
https://github.com/tj64/picolisp-by-example/blob/master/book.pdf?raw=true

I guess you can put them in your eBook Reader?

Thought I'm not absolutely sure that the reference in there is on the newest 
current state, maybe someone else can confirm/deny this.

The LaTex source code of the books is also available on GitHub.
These links and other useful ressources can be found on 
http://picolisp.com/wiki/?Documentation

PicoLisp By Example has a function reference

Re: PicoLisp on PowerPC-64

[jakob]

Hey this is really nice. 
Another architecture is nice not only in itself, which it is, but also from a 
documentation point of view.

Re: Single File Function Reference

[František Fuka]

I guess it's trivial to write script that extracts everything betwen 
 tags from all the individual function reference HTML files and puts
it into one single HTML page. I just didn't want to do only to find that it
has already been done :)

Re: Reference Manual

[Alexander Burger]

Hi Jonathan,

> (if 'any1 any2 . prg) -> any
> ...
> I also don't get the "." between "any2" and "prg" - does that mean
> something?

Yes. As you probably know, the dot is used in "dotted pairs" in Lisp, as
a result of a "cons" operation. In general, a list can be written
recursively as

   (any . lst)

e.g.

   : (1 . (2 3 4))
   -> (1 2 3 4)


A 'prg' is a list of 'exe's (executable expressions). So a call like

   (if (someCondition)
  (doThat)
  (doElse1)
  (doElse2) )

can be dissected into

   any1  (someCondition)
   any2  (doThat)
   prg   ((doElse1) (doElse2))

   : '(if (someCondition) (doThat) . ((doElse1) (doElse2)))
   -> (if (someCondition) (doThat) (doElse1) (doElse2))



> Is there any significance in the difference of "any2" and "prg". I would

In some sense, yes. 'any' is the most general type, it can be anything,
i.e. a number, a symbol or a list. 'prg', however, is typically a list,
so it better describes what 'if' expects.
